I hate to start this thread seeing as how there's about 5 others, but I still can't come up with an answer. I'm going to have a TRON painted in the next couple weeks and I'd like to achieve the most original looking finish. I know it'll never look like an exact copy of the melamine laminate, but I want to give it a shot. A lot of the threads have been happy with the results but the OP's will write something like "it looks great, but not 100% original", etc., so I have nothing to go on. But what I've pieced together is that 2-3 coats of satin black acrylic enamel over 1-2 coats of primer/sanding should do the trick. Anyone done this? There was a gloss acrylic job, but I don't recall seeing satin. Plus I need to buy the paint, so I want to do it right the first time. All else fails, I guess I can but a few different mixes and have the guy test it out on some scraps.
Thanks
